A major music company uses TV to sell 150,000 CD’s and found out the promotion drove another 2,000,000 sales at retail. A financial service company needs to kick start their campaign to generate qualified leads for their home mortgage division and received 5 times the number of calls they expected. A major California health care provider was looking to inform senior citizens about their Medicare supplemental policy and wound up sending out over 40,000 videos.
What do these companies plus brands like Rogaine, Ginsu, ProActiv, Ronco and many others have in common? DRTV (and Radio)!
Today’s companies are demanding 2 things of themselves and their marketing partners. The first is “Get me new customers!” and second “Make my media measurable and accountable!” and that’s where DRTV comes in.
In this online seminar, you’ll learn why more and more companies have turned to DRTV to grow and grow FAST! We'll cover local or national, broadcast or cable, radio or television media. The basic fact is DRTV is designed to tell you how hard your media dollars are working and how much more you can buy.

What Members Say About This Webcast
"His way of taking clients to market is a bit more thorough than what similar agencies tend to offer."
"The first 10 minutes (at least) was pure commercial. I don't remember any of your presenters who did this. I was close to hanging up at that point, but waited. By the 20 minute mark, it was obviously very generic (I could have guessed, and been right, on most of the things he discussed)."
